The two Democrats will head sprawling agencies that will shape Biden’s agenda on climate change, technology, investment, the minimum wage and other workforce rules and policies.
Together with other top officials, they will “usher in a new wave of worker power, help struggling small businesses recover and re-open, and put Americans back to work by creating millions of good-paying union jobs,” the transition team said.
